Finally, after four years, we return to Ningaloo, Chris' favourite spot. The Ningaloo reef runs just a few hundred metres offshore and the marine life is so prolific that, with some binoculars and a comfy chair, you can easily lose yourself for hours. Which is exactly what Chris does.

For years now I've heard about how great it is on Cape Leveque, just north of Broome, and in fact it was a trip done by a friend to the Cape in 1996 that planted the original let's-dropout-and-hit-the-road seed. After all this time we actually get to the cape, and find it a bit of a disappointment.

Which just goes to show that we are all looking for different things, and there's not much point taking advice from someone re the "greatness" of a place, you just have to go there and decide for yourself.

So, bearing that in mind, there's no point reading these diaries is there :-)

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
